| Reverse description | The reverse displays a colourised representation of the Canadian national flag motif, rendered as a large red maple leaf centred on a white field. The maple leaf is depicted in full colour against the plain silvered background of the central disc, with the characteristic crimson hue faithfully reproduced. The coin's distinctive bottle-cap form creates a fluted, crimped border surrounding the central design, replicating the shape of a standard crown bottle cap. No legends or additional inscriptions appear on the reverse. |

| Additional information |
Chad's CFA franc is issued under the authority of the Bank of Central African States, but this piece has nothing to do with monetary policy — it belongs to a collector-driven novelty series that several Central African Economic and Monetary Community member states have licensed to European minting houses as a revenue stream. The bottle cap format is a recurring device in this market, aimed squarely at thematic collectors rather than any domestic circulation.
The Canada-themed release is one of several national variants struck in the same run.
